What does it mean when your car wont drive in reverse?
A car that won't move when in reverse could indicate a problem with the transmission. It could also indicate a problem in the gear selector.
Why would a car reverse in first and second gear and go forward in reverse gear?
Shift linkages not put in the correct spots.
Why does car go forward when in reverse on a hill?
Sounds like it is not really in reverse-check trans to see what gear it's really in.
When preparing to back up you should move the gear selector to?
When preparing to back up, you would be reversing. In a manual transmission car, this would be the reverse gear. It is typically all the way to the right and on the bottom row.
Why would the gear selector lever on a 1986 Lincoln Town Car be hard to get all the way into the reverse position and sometime jump out of reverse--you don't think it is the transmission--you think it?
sounds like transmission problems
How do you use reverse light of a car?
IT should go on automatically as you put the gear selector in reverse. It serves two purposes:to tell traffic to the rear that you are reversingprovide some illumination so that you see where you're going.
How long can a f1 cars reverse gear last?
I don't think F1 cars have a reverse gear. They are not like normal cars wherein the driver is expected to drive the vehicle both forward and backward. If a F1 car needs to be reversed, the driver puts the car in neutral gear and mechanics push the car backwards.
What does it mean when your car does not reverse at all?
Its not in reverse gear.

What is the problem when a car goes into reverse and won't go into drive?
If you can't physically shift the vehicle into drive, then the linkage going to the transmission may be binding up. If you can shift the gear selector into drive, but the vehicle won't move forward, then you may be very low on fluid. Many times when a transmission gets very low, it will only move in reverse and not forward in any gear. Check the fluid level and top it off if it is low. If the transmission is already full, then you may have more serious damage that may require a trans shop.
Should you put the gear selector in your car in park if you are pulled over by the police?
true
Why does transmission pull forward with car in reverse?
If you mean the transmission itself shifts forward, it is because the transmission is suspended, so when the transmission is put in reverse gear the momentum will push the transmission forward. Now, if the car pulls forward when put in reverse, this means there is a transmission problem. This may just indicate the shift linkages need adjustment, or that the transmission has a major problem and needs repairing. Take it to a shop and have it checked.
